Ondansetron in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting
Ondansetron v prevenci pooperační nauzey a zvracení
Ondansetron v prevenci pooperační nauzey a zvracení byl srovnáván s placebem formou randomizované paralelně uspořádané dvojitě slepé multicentrické studie u 300 pacientů po elektivní klasické nebo laparoskopické cholecystektomii v celkové anestezii. Z výsledků studie vyplývá, že ondansetron v dávce 4 mg i.v. je účinný v prevenci pooperační nauzey a zvracení. Počet emetických epizod byl u skupiny pacientů s ondansetronem nižší a u statisticky významně většího počtu pacientů nebylo zvracení vůbec zaznamenáno. Nárůst nežádoucích účinků ve srovnání s placebem nenastal.

Overview
Ondansetron in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients with general anaesthesia undergoing elective abdominal surgery was evaluated in randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter, parallel group study. Based on the results, we can conclude that ondansetron in dose 4 mg i.v. is effective in the prevention of postoperative hausea and vomiting. Number of emetic episodes was in ondansetron group statistically significantly lower and no nausea was observed in larger number of patients. No significant increase of adverse events was observed in ondansetron group vs. placebo.
